Abstract

Abstract This volume is designed as a textbook which, according to the publisher, is addressed especially to “upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars interested in the relationships between Christians and Muslims.” It is based on secondary literature (see the bibliography of the volume, 157–61). The author states in his introduction (1–2) that this book is addressed to a “nonspecialist audience” (2). Therefore, he chooses to abstain from footnotes, historiographical debates, source issues, etc.
